Central, LA Tuesday, August 3, 2021 I wish to express sympathy to all of Lorrie's family. Having met Lorrie only once was enough to be inspired by her infectious smile. And the pride she had for her Little Blue House with the small garden patch. Coffee and cherry pie served was so memorable! What a sweet soul she had. I was honored to make her acquaintance! May she "Rest in Peace"
